I finally beat the easy level on VV2 - I had so many tribes die I'm leary about trying the other two. As soon as I finished I started thinking about how there's an opening here for a third VV game. Even started dreaming it up. (Possible spoilers for both VV1 and VV2.)

Virtual Villagers 3: The Mysterious Village

One day in the first VV Village (A New Home) the Golden Child, an ageless powerful wonder, hears a mysterious noise. He's drawn to it as if hypnotised. He's last seen running into the cave.

Of course, he pops out on the other side. The VV2 villagers try to stop him, but he runs up to The Gong Of Wonders and rings it - instantly his powers are completely drained. He's the Golden Child no more. Now he's just an ordinary little boy who'll one day grow old and die.

The over-charged gong rings twice, loudly, by itself, before shattering into billions of pieces. The first gong opens up a passage between the two villages that people can travel safely. So both villages are now united as one.

The second gong opens up a long over grown passage into the jungle. There's evidence that many people passed this way. Six people are instantly drawn to this path as if by magic even though others try to hold them back. One male and female from NH village, one male and female from LC village, the former Golden Child and one girl child from the LC village who's the same age as the GC.

As they walk the path, the jungle path seals up behind them, cutting them off from friends and family. They have no choice by to go forward.

At the end of the path they find the ruins of what was once a great village. Only a handful of people left. These are the ones left from the original inhabitants of Isola. Something has happened to them, they have no memories of who they are or why they abandoned their old villages, destroyed so many things, etc. Our little band of travels set out to heal them. There are many books left on the history of Isola, but no one remembers how to read them.

Somehow these people must find a way to survive in the middle of the jungle, translate the books, and find out what happened on Isola to cause people to destroy their religious artifacts and abandon their children.

And somehow, some way, keep history from repeating itself.
